949 W 49th Avenue Vancouver, BCEmail: daylenemarshall/AT/gmail/DOT/comEvent begins Friday at 6pm and ends Sunday at 1pm. Starting Saturday at 5pm is the All Souls Springtime Soiree. Family and friends of all ages are welcome to attend this part of the conference (see include flyer for more details). Since this event is for groups from all faith communities we want to be as inclusive as possible. We have made it open to 12-20 year olds since the definition of youth varies within various communities. All dietary needs will be accommodated as long as we are made aware of them on the registration form. Unitarians believe that everyone has the right for a free and responsible search for truth and meaning, therefore everyone’s beliefs will be respected. Please let us know ways that we can honor your faith.

Details: An adult sponsor from each faith group must accompany youth, for safety reasons the adult to youth ratio may not exceed 1:8. We ask that one youth from each community be designated to be a part of the Spirit Committee (youth should have some leadership experience). The Spirit Committee is a group of youth and adults that work together to ensure the spirit of the conference is abided by and facilitates conflict resolution as well as deals with any situation where conference rules are broken. During the all ages event, the youth and their sponsors at the conference will be sleeping in a separate area then other guests that may spend the night.
